Automated excerpt
As AI coding agents and local execution workflows evolve, a hidden bottleneck continues to frustrate developers: probabilistic tools trying to solve deterministic engineering problems. To build reliable local-first agent systems like Castov, we need to shift from pure guessing to deterministic local tools. To make AI agents genuinely autonomous and safe, we must encapsulate local actions inside strict, typed, deterministic boundaries.
